re: Velvet Cactus (Baton Rouge) Opens Monday (1/19)

Well, I can't speak for the food because I've never eaten at the other one, but I've always heard the food was terrible both on here and out in "real life" ( ). Plus, you have posters who usually defend places saying the place is gross.

Let's not condemn the place before they serve their first customer though.

I don't think it is unfair to assume, especially knowing this company, that the food will be the same as the other location.

If this place dies, it won't be because of the food, it will be because of the god awful location they moved into. Nothing has ever prospered there to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong though.

One place was there for a very long time, then it changed a few times.

I somewhat agree with you though. I think the place will do totally fine based on atmosphere and drinks UNLESS the location kills them. The crowd they're targeting doesn't seem to drink over there in that area. (Yes, I know it isn't far from Pelican, but BR is weird as far as locations go)

I have no doubt the food is bad, but I don't think food will have much to do with their success or failure.
